Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is used to secure, among others, the cloudflare servers that host most on the online content nowadays. This algorithm is in charge of securing everything from customer’s HTTPS connections to data transmissions from one data center to another. It might be worth digging into why it is so important in the modern world and see how it works behind the scenes. The building blocks of ECC are the RSA algorithm and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithms.
